Karl,
If it's good enough for Alan Jackson, it's got to be good enough for me. ;D ;D

The Banjo has always interested me but I doubt my fingers will do what's necessary to play. I know how that banjo reproduction works. I've seen it with friends. Heck, I have two tin whistles!!
Cliff Boyd said:Jim,
You play the banjo and we will play the deliverance song!

I found out we have a Dulicmer group at TGO. Also just met a couple from CT. She plays Dulcimer and Guitar. She has two Dulcimers and said she'd be happy to get me started. So much to do, so little time!!!
John In Detroit said:The kind of singing I do when I'm not in Church is one of the areas where Dulcimers and mountain dulcimers often show up... So a while ago we were at what is called a "house Filk" (Meet at a hosue instead of a convention) and I ask the lady with the dulicmer if she coudl play "God Rest Ye Merry Gentelmen" (she could and did) What I did not tell here is I was singing "The Restroom Door Said Gentelmen" Which, as it turns out, she'd never heard before.
Lots of fun

I don't know if anyone is a former Navy musician, just wanted to let you know their is a Navy Musician's Association. I don't play anymore however, it is nice to learn about former musicians and catch up with old firends. Just google NMA or Navy Musician's Association.

Jim Dick said:Hi TJ,
I wasn't what you would consider a Navy musician but I did play drums in the drum & bugle corps in boot camp at Great Lakes. Sure was fun!!!
PancakeBill said:Drum & Bugle, we used to call them the Beaters & Blowers. Hmmm, that sounds like it might have a second meaning... Anyway, they used to practice on Sat AM on the drill pad in front of our barracks, pretty much insuring no sleeping in on Sat.
Good friend (Jim, you may remember him from Cycling Forum, Ken Lyons), was in the Air Force band. Played brass, mainly trombone. He did that for 4 years, was in the DC group, which I gather was the elite in the band area.
Did you know the Navy even has a Bluegrass Band? Saw them at Grey Fox last year. Very talented bunch. Write their own music, most even provide their own instrument. All E6 or above.
